The transfer of the management of
the Passumpsic road to the b. & L.,
affects the Officemen at Lyndonville
more than any other class thus far,
though it is probable that most of them
will remain in the employ of the B. &
L. in some capacity. Those who, if
they remain, will be known by differ
emit titles are, w. III. Wilson, general
accountant; w. j. Willard, general
freight agent w. A. Densmore, cash
Ter, and N. P. Lowering, Jr., general
ticket agent. 1t is understood that
the three last named will remain in
the employ of the b. & L. Co. Some
of the clerks may be transferred to the
Boston Office
